I don't live in Portland anymore

[bluesbodger]

I'm heading east. Tomorrow morning I will drive out of Southeast Portland, past the old houses and the coffeeshops and the plethora of Asian markets. I will take my old route to work, but instead of taking the Fairview exit I will continue up the Columbia gorge, past the fine hiking near Multnomah Falls and the rock-climbing at Horsethief Butte,

Ships passing. Let me know if you need a day-old Grand Central baguette by mail, or anything similarly nostalgic. Enjoy the heck out of your next round of school (UI at UC has seems to have a kind-hearted, if flaky, administration, based on how they participated in the assessment process for the College Sustainability Report Card).

And Chris . . . you knifed a hobo?

you mean you're nostalgic to be leaving the sort of city about which everyone says "oh, I was thinking about going on vacation there" to go to a cornfield?

and you shipped 140 pounds of books?!?

I know I've seen you like, four times since I moved back.

But it's not going to be the same here without you. Move the world and then come back, k?

Already missing you here, and determined to see you more online. Good luck and have fun where you're going. Happy trails.
